OK, so its not really about trading, it's about the morality and decision making in saving 23 week old babies.

BUT

look at how much what people want to be true affects their decisions.

aint no different in trading.

(if you are mum or a dad don't flame me for this, I'm making a fair point not saying your baby should die)

Yes I give Howard a hard time for various reasons, just search for his name and read the threads.

Now, as for the second bit, just look at how the people behave (like the couple in the police, or the doctor dad of molly at the very end).

Yes its natural to want to look after your baby and everything, I'm not saying every parent in this video is stupid - far from it. But it does easily highlight how much people can tailor the evidence to support a position that they feel the need to justify.

Look, its part of being human, and prolly aint no more to being human than being a mum or a dad. But htis happens everywhere in life, and can be very bad news in trading.

By the way - the programme is 59 minutes long, so it's quite remarkable that you can make a judgement on its applicability to trading after... 32 mins (cynic in me says you haven't watched it at all - comments after 10 mins??)
